Hristo Stoichkov: 'Carlo Ancelotti got Clasico tactics wrong'

Barcelona legend Hristo Stoichkov has criticised Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti for his decision making during Saturday's El Clasico.

Despite Jese Rodriguez's 90th-minute strike, Barca edged out their fierce rivals 2-1 thanks to goals from Neymar and Alexis Sanchez, and Stoichkov feels that Ancelotti got his tactics wrong.

"I was disappointed with Ancelotti's decisions during the Clasico," the Bulgarian told Mundo Deportivo.

"I think the penalty appeal was the least of their worries. For me, they looked out of ideas.

"Lionel Messi wasn't at his best because he has played a lot and travelled extensively with the Argentina national team, but I still thought Madrid were poor."

The win took Gerardo Martino's side six points above Madrid in La Liga.
